Good evening BBC Merlin enjoyers, and in particular: MORGWEN ENJOYERS!! Stay tuned because Iā€™m going to be dropping a Morgana & Gwen vid in a few hours!

Iā€™m very excited to share this one. I actually completed the vid in a day, but the effects? The colouring? The fancy text? Making it pretty? I only finished all that today! I really tried to stick to an aesthetic, I learned a lot and I hope you all like it! šŸ„°

I'm FINALLY catching up on comments and I just had something to say.

Seriously, *thank you* to everyone who takes the time to leave a comment. To leave a compliment and/or how the video made you feel. They all mean so much. Even though I'm only now replying to most of them (the older ones), I see them all and cherish them. The reason why I'm even replying so late is not because I don't care, but the opposite (make it make sense lol). It's that I care SO much and I blank on what to say, or worry I've said thank you too much, or am just so flattered I become SHY LOL

I'm going to continue responding to those comments individually but, as a blanket response, thank you. You've no idea how much I appreciate hearing from you all.

!! CHANNEL UPDATE !!

Hope you're all having a good timezone! <3

You might've noticed already lol but I've changed my channel name to PYJAMACRYPTID!

This decision has been a long time coming. I wanted my youtube channel to match the rest of my creative accounts because having two main usernames can be pretty misleading!

I've been pyjamacryptid longer than I've been bluemoon so the choice was a no-brainer.

Everything else is going to remain as it was! I'll still be posting and doing my usual shenanigans lol - it'll all just be under a different name!

- Ren, your local pyjamacryptid :D

Happy Holidays! Hope you're all well and having a good day!

It's a bummer but I didn't finish my edit in time for day 7 of merthur week 2022 (hosted on tumblr) BUT I decided to still post it to my tumblr, anyway!!

If you guys want to check it out, you can find it here: tinyurl.com/j2pyvsar

I'm going to keep working on it, of course, and hopefully I'll one day post the finished, perfectionism-approved version here!

Slowest Editor Ever signing off <3

hey everyone!

I know, I know, so much activity after months of nothing! who am I? well, Iā€™ll get back to you on that big, philosophical question - but first!

Iā€™ve begun to edit some stream highlights for my wonderful friend Kit aka @goldpleated on both Twitch and YouTube! Specifically for Legally Bald, aka Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, which airs Fridays on Twitch at 6PM CST. Kit plays Phoenix Wright, alongside a cast of friends who assist in voicing the various characters - including myself, actually! (I voice Edgeworth lol, I get very poncy)

Kit has just posted the compilation I edited of our first Legally Bald stream to their channel. If youā€™re interested in Ace Attorney, and/or to witness a group of friends get up to hilarious shenanigans, please check out the video and Kitā€™s channel! It was a super fun video to edit and thereā€™s only more to come. Youā€™re all, of course, welcome to join us Fridays as well and watch these shenanigans take place live. Hope to see you there! ^^

Hi everyone!

How is everyone? Iā€™m sorry I disappeared on you all!
ā€Øā€Ø[TD;LR - had a mini burn-out, but still keen to edit and post videos! Both for cql & others. Likely wonā€™t be soon bc Iā€™m also doing art & 2nd semester of uni started recently. Would you still be interested in more cql ā€œ___ for x minsā€ vids from me, even tho there are a lot of them now? Not self-deprecating, just curious & worried about potential idea overlap. Thank you for 7k subs!!] ā€Ø

There were a lot of personal stresses (and the whole 2020 thing perhaps), but I think it's safe to say I experienced a mini burn out lol. And, idk, you might think ā€œwdym youā€™ve only posted like 7 vidsā€ WELL lemme tell you I have like 9 WIPs, and a List of Ideasā„¢ (last time I counted I think it was at like 30?? And that was just for cql lmao) and - despite my best efforts - i put a lot of pressure on myself and got overwhelmed.

(also, i said it before, but I want to thank you all again for those nice things you said in the replies to my last update post, about taking my time and that this is not an obligation, it meant a lot!)

Thankfully, I started drawing again! Which makes me really happy bc i hadn't done it in years and missed it a lot (also suffered a burn out lmao) However, I want you all to know, I'm not done editing (*ā€¢Ģ€į“—ā€¢Ģ*)Łˆ Ģ‘Ģ‘ā€Øā€ØI canā€™t promise I'll publish anything soon - that any of my video ideas will be completed soon lol - as uni recently started back for me and my adhd brain is very focused on the art side of my interests, but I'm keen!

I still have so many ideas in the works, both the usual ones, but also ideas for character study edits, and ā€œnarrative studyā€ edits (uhh, yknow the ones that focus on themes etc, the story at large? idk what to call them). I also have ā€œ___ for x minutesā€ ideas for stuff outside of cql, too.

Just for curiosity's sake and to hear what you think, would you all still be interested in seeing "____for x mins" cql vids from me?

Tbh, I'm a tad worried about potentially overlapping in ideas with other content creators, as I've seen there's been an increase in these style of cql vids since my absence. Which is amazing btw!! I mean, one of the reasons I even started making my videos in the first place was because I wasnā€™t able to find the kind of cql videos I wanted to watch and now there's so many lol XD

Itā€™s very much a ā€œholy shit! TWO cakes!ā€ situation, but I thought to ask anyway ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ

Actually, what prompted me to post this was that I hit 7k subs some time ago and I recently saw my lwj video had hit 500k views (cue: me buffering bc wtf >:0). Itā€™s amazing - to me anyway haha - especially when I havenā€™t published anything new in months.

I just really want to thank you all for liking my content and sticking with my channel, even though Iā€™ve been absent for a while. Iā€™d only ever been active in fandom a minimal amount before this. I was too shy to interact or post anything of my own before (except for little bits here and there lol). You all made me feel very welcome and appreciated, so, thank you so much. Iā€™m really glad you all enjoy my videos and that, hopefully, theyā€™ve made you laugh!
ā€Ø
Sorry for my ramble!! and potentially oversharing lol. I added a TL;DR at the top just in case ļ½”(*^ā–½^*)悞
ā€Øā€ØI hope youā€™re all safe and well!ā€Ø

If yā€™all have any questions for me, and want the option of anon, hereā€™s my curious cat: curiouscat.me/bluepyjamas%E2%80%A8
If you happen to be interested in my art, or you just want another person to scream about MDZS/CQL with, hereā€™s my twitter & tumblr:ā€Ø

Hi everyone,

This is a signal boost. George Floyd and so many others deserve justice. If you can, please sign and donate to these petitions and fundraisers. If you cannot, for whatever reason, please at least share and spread awareness.

#BlackLivesMatter

Petitions:

act.colorofchange.org/sign/justiceforfloyd_george_ā€¦

www.change.org/p/change-org-the-minneapolis-policeā€¦

www.change.org/p/mayor-jacob-frey-justice-for-georā€¦

www.justiceforbigfloyd.com/

www.change.org/p/mayor-jacob-frey-justice-for-georā€¦

A fundraiser held by George Floydā€™s family for his memorial. I believe they have reached their goal, but please support it if you can:
www.gofundme.com/f/georgefloyd

A twitter thread that has neatly compiled the links above plus more - including info on how to be a proper ally, how to sign if youā€™re international (like I am), as well as other petitions/fundraisers for other black lives affected similarily. I found it very helpful, please check it out even if you donā€™t have twitter:
twitter.com/danitycafe/status/1266063302335115266?ā€¦

Also a petition for Breonna Taylor:
www.change.org/p/andy-beshear-justice-for-breonna-ā€¦

Lastly, here is a link to the official BLM website:
secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019

EDIT:

Here is a link to a carrd that neatly compiles petitions, fundraisers, and links to further educate yourself about the BLM Movement + info for protestors:
blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/
Also, I just learned and thought to share just in case you are not aware: do NOT donate to change[dot]org as the donations go to the site not the cause. Instead , if you are able to donate, donate to the fundraisers and organisations.

Thank you

(Regarding my last post)

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and for being so nice! Ngl your thoughts truly helped me out a lot and made me feel more at ease - Iā€™ve been mulling over what the right thing to do is for a long while.

I agree that the term is more or less being reused by the community, and that it is - also more or less - becoming its own meaning separate from the (awful and bullshit) legal strategy. Hell yeah.

Despite this, I still want to rename the video. While a lot of us are ok with it - which is great, i respect that, and Iā€™m glad that this means I havenā€™t negatively affected too many of you - I donā€™t want to risk hurting/offending someone or making someone uncomfortable that might come across my video. Iā€™d loathe to do that. ā€œGay panicā€ is still in the video itself and Iā€™m considering leaving the thumbnail (???) so the term wonā€™t be completely removed from the video, just the title.

Some of you suggested I run a poll, which is a great idea, so I guess vote which replacement title sounds better to you! Only the best shall win next top model
